Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that the U.S. military should receive the Nobel Peace Prize every year for its approach to warfare. He emphasized the importance of 'maximum violence' under his leadership to ensure military effectiveness. Hegseth responded positively to a question about renaming the 'Department of War' to 'Department of Peace,' asserting that proactive measures lead to peace through strength. His comments come amid ongoing conflict in Iran, where U.S.-Israeli strikes have resulted in significant civilian casualties and a fragile ceasefire.
